Add a Perk for Semi-Auto rifles

Semi-Auto rifles had been nerfed hard few updates ago.
Guns like M1 Garand, G43 and SVTs are having hard times Compared with FG42, AVT and etc.

So I’m suggesting a Perk for Semi-Auto rifles to shoot “Rapidly”, so to speak.
With this kind of Perk added to the game, Semi-Auto rifles would be much more reliable at close range battles.

Even with this kind of Perk added to the game, Since Semi-Auto rifles have pretty strong recoil, it won’t be easy to use them like FG42 and etc.

As he has mentioned the soldier’s mental health and stress things, I suggest adding the Semi-Auto Rifle perk as a Weapon Handling, Like Bolt-Action or the Recoil Perk.

This kind of Perk would be Excellent for Low-level new players, which would allow them to partially compete with High-level players armed with FGs M2s and AVTs, Which will make more player influx eventually.

how bout you give them there historical rof since that’s the bs excuse they gave us at the time
Rate of fire 40–50 rounds/min m1 grand
20 to 30 rounds per minute g41/43
350–400 Rounds/min svt 38-40

Or they could just put it back to how it was. Fix something that no one asked for, minus whatever statistics they used to make that decision.

It gave lower level players a much better option against higher level players.
And many of us opted against full FG squads because the G43 was good enough and we liked the historical feel of G43s vs FGs.

All they have to do is roll it back.

Well, I Totally agree with this, But they seem to be not. Well so thats why I suggest a Perk about it

I like that you suggest bypassing what is essentially a technical restriction of a gun with the usage of soldiers’ skills.
It’s like increasing voltage in the grid by telling the electrician that he can do better :upside_down_face:

Let’s be honnest, the “stress reduce ROF” is an excuse to make semi-auto less usefull than end game weapons.
In a very stressfull situation you don’t take your time to shoot. You shoot everywhere in panic.

This nerf is a joke.

Stress doesn’t put a mechanical restriction on a weapon in the first place.

Yeah… we fight ar with another gun many time.
I think The perk sar is a good idea.
Smg is can fight only close.
Lmg is hard to fight too heavy,slow aim,etc

I haven’t sold my gewehr43 yet…
I still got hope I will use them again one day.

FG42 doesn’t have the nice crack sound of the gewehr.

The 20 to 30 rounds per min on g43 stats are bugged.

You can fire way more bullets per min than 30.
Its a visual bug on the Stat card. And you should know that if you ever played axis.

If you don’t, you can do some maths using the video below on current update:

Not sure tho, why people even need faster firing rate on a semi than this. But I would advice to get an assaulter or a gunner if you intend to fire faster.

Or just equip FG42/AVS 36 with unrestricted semi auto speed which most of us did after the nerf. Because reasons

So the Panzerfaust/ all HEAT warheads penetrate more than 2mm?
Guess before that it was pure luck that I managed to penetrate a Puma with PIAT.

Some stats are correct, some arent.

Fire rate on semi autos isn’t correct visually
Just that.

Well for New-Being low level players, like level 8 or something, has not that much chance to deal with the automatic rifles, especially at medium range. You need to keep move and shoot unless to be get killed. but with MGs It’s preety hard to hit the target while moving, since they fucked up MGs shot dispersion. bolt action? takes a while long delay for its second shot. SMGs? also has pretty much shot dispersion, and the low damage for. Semi-Auto used to be a Breakthrough of this problem for New-being players, but now it isnt.

and for High-Level users including myself, could use FG since They have all of that “Automatic rifle” things.
But you know what? there is some kinda Vibes with Semi-Auto rifles.
Not like the Automatic rifles, it has its own ambience which makes me want to use it still
well that stupid RPM limit messed it all up though.

Exactly. Semi-Auto rifles got its own vibes and things which makes it more attractive

Where did you get those numbers? Cause it looks like you’re mixing together charachteristics for aimed fire on the G43 and M1 (and not even those seem lined up, as while the G43 seems like it’s from an avrage soldier, while the M1 looks more to be from a modern competion shooter), and either cyclic rate or more likely data from a speed fire test for the SVT.

Where he gets everything else:

It sounds pathetic that you can only get something you should get through perks lol

pretty much and the m1 bazooka has the same 2mm of pen when it had 76mm of pen

i didnt make them up the m1 grand was second to svt38/40 and the g43 was slower than both m1 grand and svt38 but i can see you dont want historical accuracy except to cherry picked ideas
